This guitar features a narra (New Guinea rosewood) back and sides with an Engelmann spruce top. It'll sing its first notes very soon.

I'm excited to resume work on this guitar, which features a beautiful set of bubinga (there's an inner layer of cherry on the sides). With the top now attached, it rings like a bell.

My first attempt at an Irish bouzouki, from a few years back. Port Orford cedar soundboard; East Indian rosewood back and sides.

A manchinga/Engelmann spruce OM guitar taking shape in the workshop.

Something a little different for me: chambered mahogany body, with a Queensland maple cap, figured bigleaf maple neck and ebony fingerboard. Finished with Osmo Polyx oil.
